Former President Goodluck Jonathan<\/a><\/strong> has called for scholarships for talented African youths who are disadvantaged by low incomes.<\/p>\n

Jonathan made the call in his remarks during the 11th graduation ceremony of the Cavendish University Uganda (CUU), Kampala.<\/p>\n

Jonathan, who is the Chancellor of the University, in his remarks made available to our correspondent in Abuja on Friday, assured the University of his continued support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to focus on removing barriers to access of higher education for many African youths who are talented but disadvantaged by low incomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will therefore need to look for scholarships for the talented but poor youths, even if it means connecting them to loan schemes where they can pay later,\u201d Jonathan said.<\/p>\n

The former Nigeria president<\/a> also advocated for collaboration between academia and industry within African continent to address some of the challenges facing the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to engage industry across the region and the continent with a view to creating meaningful and productive academia-industry partnerships.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will work better if the academia supports industry with action research to strengthen production, distribution and marketing while industry supports the university.<\/p>\n

Jonathan commended the CUU leadership\u2019s efforts to surpass the school pre-pandemic performance at a time when other universities were still struggling to recover from the effects of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

He also commended CUU\u2019s collaboration with other universities and institutions, saying \u201cI know this leads to exchange of ideas and creation of opportunities for students and faculty in the collaborating institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cProgressive institutions know that collaboration is better than competition; and that there is a lot we can do together to take our universities to greater heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan who congratulated the 2022 class granduands and their parents, also advised the students to embrace success.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo succeed, you must be intentional in embracing success, anchor habits such as time management, planning and executing your plans, continuous learning and reflection<\/p>\n

He urged them to be Committed to excellence, taking personal care to avoid causes of preventable diseases or death and networking with other resourceful persons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important you develop big goals and a determination to realise them.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstand that what differentiates the powerful from the powerless in the 21st Century is mindset.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe powerful have understood that they can create a lifestyle they desire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are driven from within; they apply relevant wisdom to fill gaps and solve challenges of society. They are able to do all these because they utilise the power of their mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s accomplishment is already a sign that you can achieve more if you continue to work hard. You have no excuse to fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cI charge you to go out and change the world beginning with your person, families and communities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
